With regular onions, there are options: chuck your onion in the fridge before you cut it, or submerge it in water while chopping. Reducing the temperature will slow down the reaction, resulting in less LF. And in water, LF gases will dilute, becoming less potent. These tactics also alter the flavor, by impairing the processes that produce it — similar to what happens with chilled tomatoes.
面對普通的洋蔥，有這些選擇：在切之前，把你的洋蔥放進冰箱，或者在切的時候把洋蔥浸入水中。降低溫度會放慢洋蔥的反應，減少催淚因子的產生。在水中，催淚因子釋放的氣體會被稀釋，降低效力。這些方法通過影響產生洋蔥味道的過程，從而改變它的味道——和製作冷凍西紅柿的情況類似。
